Abstract:

It has been identified that triterpenoids saponins extracted from plants can have cardiovascular, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. The Australian Acacia plant has a broad range of triterpenoids saponins. Current methods for separation and isolation of triterpenoids saponins involve using a large amount of organic solvents, which can be a drawback of using the extract as a functional food and nutraceutical.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, multifactorial neurological disorder characterized by an insidious onset with progressive symptoms of memory impairment, language deficit, behavioural problems including agitation, mood disturbances and poor judgment. AD involves multiple pathogenetic factors such as A~ production and aggregation, oxidative stress, tau protein aggregation, metal ions (e.g. Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+) and reduced levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes. All these factors play important roles in neurodegeneration associated with AD.

General Abstract There has been a steady increase in the use of medicinal plants in the last two decades in both developed and developing countries for prevention, management and treatment of diseases. This increase has been due to reasons such as ease of access, better cultural acceptability and compatibility, cost effectiveness and also the bid to “go natural”. Unfortunately, the notion that herbal medicines are relatively safe because they are natural has led to serious and potentially fatal consequences in phytotherapy.

Alcohol abuse is a very common practice (just like in many other parts of the world) in Nkonkobe Municipality, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. This is associated with liver disease. An ethnobotanical survey of plants used for the treatment of alcohol-induced liver damage in Nkonkobe Municipality was conducted. During the survey and also from information gathered in the literature, Pelargonium reniforme Curtis, was prominently mentioned, among other plants, as the species used generally for the treatment of alcohol-induced liver damage. This project was designed to evaluate the effects of

Thesis (DPhil (Biomedical Science))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019.<br>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterised by persistent high blood glucose levels together with abnormal metabolism of macromolecules. If the hyperglycemia is not controlled, adverse metabolic changes could occur leading to the progressive development of severe complications. Formation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and inflammatory responses are principal mechanisms that have been implicated in the development of hyperglycemia-induced tissue damage.

O gênero Salmonella constitui um problema para a saúde animal e humana. Com a finalidade de evitar a ocorrência da transmissão deste microrganismo e a interrupção da doença provocada por eles, deve-se utilizar desinfetantes e antibióticos. A exposição continuada a estes agentes pode resultar no surgimento de resistência microbiana. Tendo em vista este fenômeno, a pesquisa por novos agentes antimicrobianos a partir de extratos vegetais se faz necessária, pois existe a possibilidade de se encontrar substâncias eficazes contra a resistência de micro-organismos já disseminados no ambiente.

In Africa, an estimated 5400 of the 60000 described plant taxa possess over 16300 therapeutic uses.
